Oz trivia works because six seasons inside Oswald State packed in gangs, guards, schemes and deaths at a pace no other prison drama matched. Questions can cover Emerald City, the rival factions and the narrator who framed every episode.

A strong Oz quiz can include Oswald State Correctional Facility and the Emerald City experiment, Augustus Hill and his narration, Tobias Beecher and Vern Schillinger, Chris Keller, Ryan O'Reily and Simon Adebisi, Kareem Said and the Muslims, Miguel Alvarez and El Cid, Bob Rebadow, Burr Redding and Enrique Morales, Warden Leo Glynn, Tim McManus, Sister Peter Marie and Father Ray Mukada, the Aryans, Italians, Latinos, Homeboys and Bikers, the riot that closes the first season, and the executions, overdoses and hits that thin the cast. It works because the show rewards viewers who tracked every alliance and every body.
